Thai Coconut Waffles (ขนมรังผึ้ง)
If you’ve never had Thai coconut waffles, you’re in for a soft, chewy treat that’s delicious warm or cold. I grew up eating these as a quick street snack in Thailand—tender, coconut-scented, and perfect with or without syrup. Instead of rice and wheat flour, I use gluten-free flour so you get the same texture without the gluten.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup coconut flesh (fresh, canned, or coconut flakes)
- 1 cup gluten free flour (or half cup rice flour and half cup all purpose flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup any add on of choice as mentioned above. Please, see the above post on how to prepare each of them.
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: Whisk coconut milk, eggs, melted coconut sugar or palm sugar, and a pinch of sea salt together until well combined; this forms the flavorful base of the batter and ensures even sweetness.
- Bloom the coconut (if using flakes): Stir in coconut flakes and let the mixture rest for 5–10 minutes; this allows the flakes to soften and prevents them from absorbing too much liquid after mixing in the flour.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in gluten-free flour and baking powder until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender and fluffy.
- Fold in your add-ins (optional): Gently stir in pre-cooked taro, ube, corn, or apple cinnamon mixture; adding them last keeps the texture balanced and prevents overmixing.
- Preheat and cook the waffles: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease if needed, then pour in the batter and cook until golden; cook time may vary by machine, but the waffles should be set and lightly browned. For my little waffle maker, I used ¼ cup per waffle.
- Serve warm or cool: Enjoy the waffles fresh off the iron or at room temperature; they stay soft and delicious either way and pair well with whipped cream and fresh fruit or as a handheld snack like in Bangkok.
